The difference between this pub and the Bohemia is that the Bohemia was always in use. Unfortunately, The Castle is finished as a pub, towards the end they went completely kosher to try and draw in more of the local Jewish community. The Bohemia is sustainable as a pub, and wanted by the North Finchley community to remain a pub. The only way to save the building itself is by trying to get one of Tesco / Sainsburys / Morrisons to build a metro there - it is the only way it will become sustainable.

Cllr Jack Cohen says " if I am in a position of power at the next elections, I’ll insist it is looked at again" Well Jack, I don't know how to break this to you gently, but you won't be.

Having closed one of Barnet's best community asset, The Church Farmhouse Museum, and attempted to shift Friern Barnet Library into The Artsdepot where the community didn't want it ; I wonder what cllr. Rams considers a community asset. It might be interesting to see how many consider him a community asset in May.

'... older than the Finchley Road, which was built in the 1820s as a toll road. It dates back over 250 years and was used as a toll gate until 1871. An English Heritage blue plaque commemorates the building's historic significance'. What does this tell us about Rams & Co & their vision for Barnet? Draw your own conclusions & make them suffer in May.

Well don't be too sure. Jack Cohen will probably re-elected, he is a classic example of people voting for the man not the party. Also if a bookie was offering reasonable odds on Barnet being a Lib/Lab Council next time I'd risk a few pounds.

How many of the campaigners actually made use of The Castle? I suspect very few, otherwise it would have remained viable.

Lets be fair, if the constituents of Mr Cohen wanted this pub open then they would have visited it regularly meaning sales would have been steady meaning it would have never closed, if Mr Cohen believes that fighting this cause instead of issues the people who voted for him want him to fight for is going to get him re-elected..hes a big dreamer, maybe if he goes into partnership with another party...oh wait thats already been done..

I suggest you look at the activities of the Pubcos, pricing landlords out via the beer tie and then making a killing in the property market
